Last-Minute Christmas Shopping Tips

SPARKS, Nev. -- With only a few more shopping days left until Christmas, people are racing against the clock to get their last minute gifts and get them shipped in time.

"I always do my christmas shopping at the very last minute. I'm terrible!" Catherine Oaks, Director of Marketing at the Outlets at Legends said.

She's not the only one. Whether it's a busy schedule or the thrill people get from procrastination, it's still not too late to shop smart.

"Shop around, if you don't know what you're looking for, what you want to purchase, just try and look at different stores and then compare," Oaks said. "You're going to get ideas that you didn't have before."

Here is where some shoppers in Sparks start.

"I definitely hit the sales rack first then I got to what I think is the cutest."

"Well I think of one person and my goal is to imagine that person I'm looking for and I buy it."

"When I shop for my friends, I usually get them things that they normally wouldn't get themselves, either it's something they want or if it's too expensive."

Those who think women are hard to shop for, here are some hints from the ladies themselves:

"Look for a scarf, look for maybe a hat and gloves, just something that can be practical this time of year."

"My daughters love shoes so those are a great item."

Of course, it's hard to go wrong with a piece of jewelry, but if diamonds are a girl's best friend, then what do guys want? A few men gave their two cents on the matter.
